Maternal Behavior and Infant Security in Old World Monkeys: Conceptual Issues and a Methodological Bridge between Human and Nonhuman Primate Research.

Kondo-Ikemura, Kiyomi; Waters, Everett

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v60 n2-3 p97-110 1995

Used adaptation of Attachment Q-Set (AQS) with 24 infant-mother monkey dyads to clarify the secure-base concept. Found that infants of high-ranking monkeys scored higher than those of low-ranking ones, suggesting the origins of the secure-base phenomenon, as well as the importance of exploring infant secure-base behaviors in families of different social positions.
